PROGRAMMABLE POWER OUTLET STRIP

3.1. Getting started

Connect EG-PM2 to the wall socket first and then to the USB socket

of the manageable computer or vice versa.

EG-PM2  can  now  be  switched  on  and  off  by  means  of  the

Main

rocker switch (Z)

.

Two (the first and the last) sockets of EG-PM2 are switched on and

off by means of the

Main rocker switch (Z)

 and cannot be managed

by  the  computer –  so  they  are  called

non-manageable  sockets

  in

this manual.

If EG-PM2 is switched on then the Power indicator is lit. In this case

both  non-manageable  sockets  are  now

live

  and  connected  to  the

power supply.

The  sockets:

Socket  1,  Socket  2,  Socket  3  and  Socket  4

  can  be

managed or pre-programmed by computer via USB. They are called

manageable sockets

 in this manual.

The manageable sockets of EG-PM2 can be programmed to be on

or off. The current status of each manageable socket is represented

by the corresponding indicator which will be lit if socket has power to

it.

If the

Main rocker switch (Z)

 (see figure #1 above) is turned off then

the  manageable  sockets  cannot  be  switched  on  by  either

Power

manager

 software or the hardware schedule.
